NirCmd: turn off monitor in windows by shortcut

ISSUE:
The shortcut to lock screen is pretty convenient. A shortcut to turn off monitor will be nice to save power.

SOLUTION:
1. download freeware NirCmd from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html

2. created a shortcut for nircmd

3. added property of the shortcut to update command as "nircmd monitor off" and shortcut "Crl + Alt + m"

4. press "Crl + Alt + m" to test it.
